About Resistance Bands

A resistance band is an elastic band used for strength training without weights. They are also commonly used in physical therapy, specifically by convalescents of muscular injuries, including cardiac rehab patients to allow the slow rebuilding of strength. They come in a variety of sizes, lengths and strengths. One can get a full-body workout adding variety and intensity to the strength training exercises. Resistance bands are inexpensive, easy to store and excellent while travelling.
